Not so different as you might think. CHWO has to play a lot of music
that's well outside the pop standards playlist, because very little
recorded standards music exists that meets CanCon. Like every other
Canadian station, CHWO must play at least 35% CanCon, and IIRC their
PD said that they actually committed in their conditions of license to
more than that. Yes, the formatics are very much AS in style, but the
playlist is significantly broader than that.
